Revitalizing Modernism: Mercure Bangkok Surawong
This renovation reflects a restrained approach that respects the district’s modernist legacy. Without a driveway, the service zone was elevated to maintain a clear, urban ground plane. The use of sculpted white cement precast panels recalls mid-century forms while offering a tactile, time-worn quality. Metallic cladding at the lobby and rooftop adds quiet contrast. The result is a building that balances modesty and modernity—responding to its dense urban context with clarity and conservative architectural values.
